Package request: Atom
Adding on behalf of “greencopper” from the forum (see http://forum.alpinelinux.org/forum/general-discussion/package-request):
Hi,
It would be REALLY fantastic if we could get a package of the Atom editor into Alpine!
I have been programming in a very long time using Vim and used to love it, but I have recently switched to Atom as it is so much more intuitive, recent, much cleaner and very easy to hack and I am a newly convert (sorry Vim).
The Atom editor is developed by the guys from Github and as such also has a fantastic integration into Git itself.
I can highly recommend it.
Originally coming from Debian to Alpine I wouldn’t yet know how to compile it from source as I don’t know what packages to install:

Kindest regards!
